Connection: I do not know you - I do not need to. The spark Igniting in the space where our eyes meet, lit by tired smiles between the aisles A mark in this random place, for just a beat that we both feel our shared ordeal That spark is the human race reaching to meet ...always reaching

If the DHS is going to intimidate Americans opposing ICE, then if enough people publicly condemn them, they will be overwhelmed. Especially those in safer countries, we can distract from vulnerable Americans and add to the numbers. Down with ICE 👎

Words can be weapons, their lightest barbs insults, their deepest cuts changing beliefs.

Scared Americans, you are not alone. Many of us around the world stand at the ready to help in big and small ways, depending on our capabilities. You have one another, and many more outside your borders 🫶

MORNING by David Rogers The news is as usual a cloud of gloom with a bloody lining so I pull a poem over my head wake up somewhere in the mountains among old gods They wear antlers and feathers not as disguises but because crystal vibrates in tune with sandstone and the breath of deer

The best way I could think to honour this woman I have never met was to try to share her joy, which her wife describes as sparkle. I'm no professional artist, but I hope this helps spread her sparkle! #ArtAsWitness #JusticeForReneeGood #ReneeNicoleGood

Kooky's okay as novelty - Until deemed liability. Cast out for acting contrary - Not complicit, ordinary. but walking stooped and sitting straight keeps us stiff as our life's mandate. kookiness for just kooky's sake keeps us loose and free, wide awake! #Kooky #Vss365 #Novelty #Ourpoetryx

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Maybe it seems crazy, but I really want this film to succeed, because that opens the door for more avatar content. Rise of Kyoshi is my favourite book, for example. This petition is to put the Aang film back in theatres. c.org/nGtsrWHbRc #TheLastAirbender #ATLA #Avatar #LegendofAang #AangMovie
